Big No-No!

K8RS
      Well. I've done it!  The big No-No!  I plugged a regular 9-pin RS-232 cable into my K2/100. and smoked my K2/100's serial port.  A moment of forgetfulness during setup for the recent ARRL VHF QSO Party led to this stupid mistake.
     OK, what did I do? And what parts do I need to fix this mistake?  
     I have some time while on vacation the next few weeks, so I want to get going.  Help and advice needed!

RE: Big No-No!

Roger,

So sorry to hear that, but quickly surf to Tom Hammond's website
www.n0ss.net to get the list of things that can possibly become damaged.  If
you don't find it on Tom's site, look on the Elecraft website.

There are several ways to prevent that occurrance in the future, so you may
want to consider mechanically keying the K2/100 connector when 'closing the
door after the horse escaped'.
